A 34-year-old man, Gift Osita, was yesterday brought before an Ogudu Magistrates’ Court in Lagos for allegedly stealing motor spare parts.

Osita, whose residential address is not provided, is being tried on a two-count charge of stealing and unlawful possession.

Prosecuting Inspector Lucky Ihiehie told the court that the accused committed the offence on February 12 at about 2pm, at Dominion Supermarket, Diya Street, Ifako, Gbagada, Lagos State.

He alleged that the defendant stole spare parts of a car at a supermarket parking lot.

Ihiehie said the complainant, Mr. Olubila Odushina, caught the defendant when he was about escaping with the stolen items and shouted.

“When Osita was caught, he also had in his possession two Toyota saloon car chromes and a Honda CRV Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) chrome – values yet unknown,” he said.

The prosecutor said the chromes found in the defendant’s possession were suspected to have also been stolen or unlawfully obtained.

Osita pleaded not guilty.

Magistrate E. Kubeinje granted the defendant N50,000 bail with two sureties in the like sum.

She said the sureties must be employed and show evidence of two years tax payment to the Lagos State Government.

The case continues on March 20.
